“Turkey teeth” refers to a cosmetic dental trend where individuals travel abroad, often to Turkey, for dental procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of their teeth. However, dentists in the UK are cautioning against this practice due to associated risks. Complications such as teeth dying or rotting, excessive pain, and inappropriate treatment outcomes, such as receiving crowns instead of veneers, have been reported. A survey by the British Dental Association revealed that a significant number of dentists have treated patients who experienced complications after dental tourism. Despite the allure of cheap dental work abroad, experts warn of hidden costs and urge careful consideration before pursuing such treatments.
